To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHARLES C; DRUEDING,

a citizen of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania,

have invented new and useful Improvements in Polishing Gloves, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to a reversible chamois polishing glove. 1 The object of the present invention is to provide a simple, practical and efficient reversible chamois polishing glove of strong, durable and comparatively inexpensive construction designed for polishing automobiles, furniture and various other highly polished surfaces of either wood or metal or other material.

A further object of the invention is to provide a chamois polishing glove of this character adapted to be turned or rotated transversely on the hand to present at the palm thereof either one of two complete polishing areas.

Another object of the invention is to provide a reversible 'chamois polishing glove of this character adapted to utilize at both the palm portion and the marginal'edges small pieces of chamois arranged to present con: tinuous polishing strips or portions to the surface operated on.

A still further object of the invention is to provide a polishing glove comprising palm and back sections which are united at their marginal side and outer end edges,

of polishing strips secured thereto and with each row of strips being composed of relatively short pieces having their ends arranged in overlapping relation so as to sorted to without departing from the spirit 'chamois' polishing glove constructed in acwith one of the sections provided with rows vides a contracted wrist portion and an enprovide practically continuous strips, the

or sacrificing any of ,the advantages. of the invention.

In the drawings, in which like characters 555'" .of reference designate.corresponding' parts in'the several views Figure 1' 1s a plan vlew of a reverslble' cordance' with this invention.

Figure 2 is 'a longitudinal sectional View. of the same. 1

Figure 3 is fa transversesectional view of the reversible chamois polishingglove.

Figuret is a detail sectional-view. on the line of Figure 3;

In the accompanyingidrawing, in which is illustrated the preferred embodiment of the invention, the reversible polishingglove, which is designed to be constructed of chamois, may, of course, be. made of any other suitable material, andit comprises in its construction twosim'ilar sections or members 1, consisting of sheets or 'pieces of h stitchedztogethei a th eirl marginal '75 d u fi di 'dgeaas indicated at 2,

and provided at theirinnerends with gauntlet extensions 3, preferably tapered as shown and adapted to cover the wristfof the person using the reversible polishing glove. The sheets or members 1', which constitute .back and palm sections of the glove, are'rounded at their outer end edges nd converge inf wardly-or' rearw'ardly slightly at the inner half of the polishing glove, as clearly illustrated in Figure'lof the drawings. This enables the polishing glove to comfortably 7 receive and substantially fit the hand of the user when the fingers'are spread and it prolarged outer portion, which i will effectually prevent the reversible"polishing'glove from accidentally slipping ofl of the hand when in use. The gauntlet extensions of the palm and back sections of the reversible polishing glove are preferably provided at the marginal edges withrows of stitching 4 for protecting and ornamenting thegauntlet extensions, which may also be further ornamented by rows ofstitching 5 extending across the gauntlet extensions in the generaldirection of the length of th'e reversible polishing-glove. f

The reversible polishing glove is provided.

at both the palm and back sections with a plurality of rows of longitudinal polishing strips 6 of chamois, each row consisting of a plurality of relatively short pieces secured to the sections 1, preferably by parallel roWs of longitudinal stitching 7 spaced apart and located at opposite sides of the center of the row. The short pieces, which may be arranged in one or more thicknesses in each of the longitudinal rows, have their ends 8 arranged in overlapping relation to eliminate openings or space between the adjacent ends of the contiguous short strips to provide practically a continuous unbroken strip extending from the gauntlet portion 3 to the outer ends of the palm and back sections. This Will enable the practically continuous longitudinal polishing strips to be made of short or small pieces and at the same'time present practically unbroken sides or Wings throughout the entire length of each of the rows.

The reversible polishing glove is also provided at the top marginal edges with projecting marginal polishing loops 9 consisting of short pieces doubled to provide a loop forma tion and secured at the ends to the palm and back sections of the reversible glove by the marginal rows of stitching and disposed substantially at right angles to the said marginal rows of stitching. The marginal polishing loops are arranged in overlapping relation, as clearly illustrated in Figure 4 of the drawings, so that the side edges of each of the marginal polishing loops, With the exception of the loops, are overlapped by adjacent polishing loops. This provides an efiicient polishing edge and enables the reversible polishing glove to be used in edgeWise polishing relation Without liability of subjecting the polishing glove to excessive Wear and at the same time enabling the polishing glove to efiectively operate in corners, grooves and other narrow places. The marginal polishing loop protects'the stitched marginal edges of the back and palm sections by reinforcing and binding the same and provides a plurality of thicknesses at the marginal edges of the glove for the said edgevvise polishing action of the glove.

The interior space Within the polishing glove, defined by the marginal stitching of the attached edges of the palm and back sections is entirely open for the accommodation of the hand and the polishing glove may be reversed by simply rotating it on the hand of the user Without removing the hand from the glove.

What is claimed is l. A reversible polishing glove comprising palm and back sections united at their marginal side and outer end edges, and rows of polishing strips secured to the palm and back section, each row composed of a plurality of relatively short pieces having their contiguous ends arranged in positive overlapping relation to form substantially continuous strips, said pieces being united to the said sections by spaced longitudinal rows of stitching.

2. A reversible polishing glove comprising palm and back sections united at their marginal side and outer end edges, and marginal polishing strips secured to the reversible polishing glove on both sides of the marginal edges thereof to reinforce the edges of the glove and extending outwardly from the same to provide marginal polishing portions adapted to permit the glove to be used for edgeivise polishing.

3. A reversible polishing glove comprising palm and back sections united at their marginal side and outer end edges, and marginal polishing strips of loop formation secured to the glove on both sides of the marginal edges thereof to reinforce the edges of the glove and to provide marginal strips of double thickness projecting therefrom substantially at right angles thereto.

at. A reversible polishing glove comprising pahn and backsections united at their marginal side and outer end edges, and marginal polishing strips arranged in loop formation and secured to the marginal edges of the said sections and projecting therefrom substantially at right angles, said loops being arranged in overlapping relation at their side edges.

5. A reversible polishing glove comprising palm and back sections united at their marginal side and outer end edges, roWs of pol ishing strips secured to the palm and back section, each roW composed of a plurality of relatively short pieces having their contiguous ends arranged in overlapping relation, said pieces being united to said-sections by spaced longitudinal roWs of stitching, and marginal polishing strips arranged in loop formation and secured to the marginal edges of said sections and projecting therefrom substantially at right angles, said loops being arranged in overlapping relation at their side edges.

6. A reversible polishing glove comprising palm and back sections united at their marginal side and outer end edges, rows of pol ishing strips secured to the palm and back sections, each row composed of a plurality of relatively short pieces, and marginal polishing strips arranged in loop formation and secured to the marginal edges of the said sections and projecting therefrom substantially at right angles, said loops having their terminal portions fitted against the exterior of the palm and back sections and forming a protecting binding for the same, and the adjacent side edges of the marginal loops being arranged in overlapping relation.

7 A polishing glove comprising palm and back sections united at their marginal side and outer end edges, and rows of polishing strips secured to the palm section, each row composed of a plurality of relatively short flexible pieces arranged longitudinally of the glove and having their contiguous ends arranged in overlapping relation to form substantially continuous strips.

8. A polishing glove comprising palm and back sections united at their marginal side 10 and outer end edges, and rows of polishing strips secured to the palm section, each row composed of a plurality of relatively short flexible pieces having their contiguous ends arranged in overlapping relation to form substantially continuous strips, said pieces being united to the palm section by spaced longitudinal rows of stitching.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.

CHARLES C. DRUEDING.
